2022 Haiku Contest
Un Voyage Sans Personne
Ma vieille valise
Est à côté de la porte
Mon chien pleure doucement
Comments from the judges:
Imagination and sensitivity are at the heart of the three winning Haikus.
In "Un Voyage sans personne," past an intriguing title, a sense of nostalgia floats around an old suitcase by the door. The dog crying softly adds a note of surprise and poignancy. The atmosphere is moving and rendered simply and efficiently.
Des Visages
Un nouvel endroit
De nouveaux visages partout
Je cherche un ami
Comments from the judges:
“Des Visages” captures the experience of being in a new place with a multitude of new faces out of which grows the need for just one friend - a secure relationship. Physical and emotional dimensions come into play.
Rêveuse
Je vois et j'écoute
Les endroits dans mon esprit
Je voyage d'ici.
Comments from the judges:
Two senses combine to explore a mental space which includes diverse places through which the “I” travels from one fixed spot, “ici.” Complexity and simplicity merge.
